About our trips

The Old Cape Henry and New Cape Henry Lighthouses

The Cape Henry Lighthouse are located on Fort Story, VA near Virginia Beach.  This is a base and you are required to produce ID and prepare to have your vehicle searched.

We arrived just after a rainstorm which offered beautiful skies just before sunset and great warm color for pictures.  We spent about 1 hour photographing the different angles of both lighthouses.  This also gave me the puddles to capture the lighthouse reflections.

We went back the next day during the hours that you can go in Old Cape Henry Light.  You will notice one picture was taken from within Old Cape Henry of New Cape Henry.  We have beautiful weather both days.

Another great lighthouse trip!

Chesapeake Bay Lighthouses

We took a tourist trip on a ship to view three of the Chesapeake Lighthouses in the Bay:  Thomas Point Shoals, Sandy Point Shoal and Baltimore Harbor Light.

I didn't have much control over the time of day, therefore the lighting, but still got some great shots of these three lighthouses which cannot be seen well from land.  I was particularly impressed with the Victorian style of Sandy Point.


Turkey Point Light, MD

Wonderful day trip.  You hike in a short easy hike.  I want to go back to capture more seasons.
Trip to Cape Hatteras, NC

We visited and photographed 3 lighthouses: Cape Hatteras, Bodie Light and Ocracoke Lighthouse. For the first time I did some aerial photography capturing both Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and the Ocracoke Lighthouse from the air. It was a wonderful experience that I will do again. I love the NC lighthouses with their black and white exterior design. It takes going back to each lighthouse many times to capture different light.

Taking the walk up Cape Hatteras Light is definitely worth the hike. The interior is beautiful, as is the view from the top.

I have pictures of every angle, close up and different times of day.  If you love Cape Hatteras, you'll love my pictures.
